Infinite Metaverse

Battleship Suzheng, meditation room.

This is an empty and silent cabin with no facilities except for a few futons in the center. The floor and walls are covered with cold and hard black stone slabs. The inner layer is made of complex sound-absorbing materials. There are vents and vents on the ceiling overhead. lighting strips. This is the quietest cabin in the entire battleship. The vibrations and noise deep in the core of the battleship will not be transmitted here.

Fu Qinghai and Wokan sat cross-legged opposite each other.

"The above is the situation the empire is facing now."

Fu Qinghai looked at Wokan and said seriously:

“And the steps I took to address the situation.”

"I understand, Qingshan."

The Primarch nodded and said calmly:

"There's nothing wrong with your actions."

Vulkan Vulcan is the largest of the eighteen Primarchs. Even though both of them are sitting cross-legged, Fu Qinghai's figure still looks very "petite" in comparison. The Primarch in front of him is like A huge black city wall.

"Inquisition representative Viritus and trainee inquisitor Vera Nora are also on my ship. If you need it, I can also ask them to explain the situation to you."

Fu Qinghai then suggested.

After all, everything Fu Qinghai says now is his own words. If Volcan needs to know the details of the "Terra Spring" coup, Fu Qinghai also brought a relatively neutral person - the Grand Master of the Tribunal, Veritu. Sri Lanka.

"It's not necessary, Qingshan, I believe you."

Wokan shook his head and said:

"I don't need another High Lord to tell me how they got the Empire into the terrible state it is in."

"But I have a question."

Wokan looked at Fu Qinghai gently:

"You said you came here for me. I'm curious how you found me? How did you know I was on Cordra?"

Fu Qinghai thought for a while, and finally opened his fingers, revealing the nocturnal salamander tooth in his palm.

Wokan looked at the huge tooth with a look of surprise on his face. He took the tooth from Fu Qinghai's hand and carefully played with it in his palm, with a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.

"A mysterious old man came to Terra a few weeks ago, handed this thing to me, and told me your location."

Fu Qinghai briefly described the situation.

And many key details have been hidden.

"I see."

Wokan nodded slightly and did not inquire further. This tooth seemed to remind him of many distant and vague memories. His crimson eyes were fixed on the exquisite triangular incisor in his palm without saying a word. He didn't know what he was thinking about at this time.

Fu Qinghai didn't bother him either.

After a moment, Wokan raised his head.

"I have some impression of your name, Qingshan Khan. Chagatai mentioned you to me... Looking back, the last time I saw him was at the meeting to decide the future destiny of the legion. Chagatai privately Show off to me that he has an iron khan and his forging skills Very skilled, comparable to the most powerful technical sergeants of the Salamanders - although he may not know that every Space Marine of the Salamander Legion is the best craftsman. I don't believe what he said, but I didn't refute him. Congratulations on getting a go-getter."

Vulgan looked at Fu Qinghai and recalled slowly.

"The Great Khan praises me too much."

Fu Qinghai lowered his head humbly.

Facing Wokan, Fu Qinghai still has to be somewhat modest. After all, this person's character is the "Artisan Primarch". Volcan may not be as creative as Faenus Manus and Perturabo in inventing new military equipment, but he is definitely unique in crafting personal weaponry.

Volcan has built countless top weapons and equipment in his life, but most of them were destroyed by the original order before the massacre at Istvan Landing Site - because the Fire Dragon Lord had some bad premonitions at that time and was worried about these The weapons and equipment fell into the hands of the traitors, which in hindsight turned out to be quite prescient. Later, at the request of his descendants, he retained seven weapons and equipment, which are the famous "Seven Artifacts of Vulkan".

During the 31K period, after the Great Purge, Volkan also left the words "I will return in the end" like Leman Russ and disappeared. The Salamanders Chapter has a position called "Father of the Forge". The sole purpose of this position is to find the Seven Artifacts of Vulkan scattered in the galaxy, because the Sons of the Fire Dragon have always believed that after recovering the Seven Artifacts of Vulkan, their genes The father will return. All the hardships experienced in finding these artifacts are the tests of the Primarch for his descendants.

Because the Fire Dragon Lord once said:

"On the anvil of war there are only those who are strong and who are doomed to perish. Therefore, the human soul must withstand the test of fire like the metal in the forge."

This quote is from the Tome of Fire.

As a result, Fu Qinghai has found the Primarch before the Salamanders Chapter has collected the seven artifacts of Vulkan, which is really embarrassing. This makes the son of the fire dragon's hard pursuit of Vulkan's seven artifacts seem more like a self-consolation - because he couldn't find his father, he set some very difficult goals as the so-called "test", Vulcan's return and the seven artifacts There is no direct causal relationship between them.

"I observed the new weapon you invented."

However, Wokan said seriously:

"I realized that Chagatai was not exaggerating. On the contrary, it seems that his original statement was too conservative. Your ability to invent is no less than that of Finus Manus or Perturabo. The new weapons invented by the two of them during the entire Great Crusade may not be as good as your creation. This is an incredible miracle!"

Isn't this nonsense?

Fu Qinghai thought to himself:

Isn't it faster than those two to plunder new weapons and equipment technology directly from other reincarnation worlds?

And this is just the beginning? What you see now are only these individual weapons in the hands of the Space Marines. The Iron Pagoda Corps still has a lot of things to show. For example, the leader warrior, the broken army golden armor, the water of life, the twenty-two transformation operations, the automatic medical platform...

"You are too kind, sir."

Fu Qinghai continued to maintain a humble attitude.

After all, strictly speaking.

These things were not invented by him.

He just integrated, improved and upgraded the technology.

"Excessive modesty is hypocrisy, Qingshan."

Volkan shook his head and said:

"Your cabin is nice, can you leave it to me? I want to stay here by myself during this period. In addition, there should be a personal forging room in your warship, right? Lend it to me. A war is coming soon. My power armor needs to be repaired and my weapons need to be remade."

"Of course, sir."

Fu Qinghai stood up and nodded:

"All your requests will be met."

Fu Qinghai understood what Volkan meant:

He wanted to stay here quietly by himself.

So Fu Qinghai didn't bother him anymore and got up and walked towards the cabin door. Before leaving the meditation room, Fu Qinghai thought of something and couldn't help turning back to look at Volkan who was still sitting cross-legged on the ground:

"Do you need to notify the Salamanders, sir?"

Volkan shook his head gently and said nothing.

...

During the entire voyage afterwards, Volkan stayed in the meditation room of the Rectification, except occasionally asking for some materials and then going to Fu Qinghai's forging room to tinker with something. Fu Qinghai occasionally went over to take a look. It seemed that he was making a hammer weapon. Volkan did not shy away from watching him from the side.

Volkan had made countless legendary equipment, many of which were hammer weapons, including: "Thunder Head" (the original weapon equipment), "Dawnbringer" (the hammer originally planned to be given to Horus), "Burning Hand" (during the Battle of Nocturne), "Destruction Shock" (during the Beast War), which shows that he has a special liking for this type of weapon. The terminator troops of the Salamanders also all use thunder hammers.

If the records in the "Biography of the Primarchs" are correct, then the hammer that Volkan is making now is "Destruction Shock". Fu Qinghai stood at the door of the forging room, watching the Primarch with his back to him, concentrating on making his weapon. Volkan's forging method looked a bit primitive, but he knew that the Primarch's body itself, his strength, his hands, feet, eyes and brain, was the most sophisticated CNC machine tool.

Fu Qinghai watched quietly for a while.

Then he turned around and left the forging room.

In general, the Primarch's performance was a little negative, which did not meet the Space Marines' expectations of him.

Many Space Marines hoped that the Primarch would stand up, make an impassioned and inspiring oath or speech, and then lead the Space Marines to attack and defeat the Orks - just like any loyal Primarch should have done more than a thousand years ago. But things went against their wishes. Vulkan seemed to have no interest in commanding all the Space Marines. He stayed in the meditation room and forge room of the Rectification all day.

Some Space Marines even suspected that Fu Qinghai had put Vulkan under house arrest. In order to clarify this suspicion, Fu Qinghai also held a meeting and announced in public at the meeting that he would hand over the command to the Primarch, but Vulkan refused on the spot. The Primarch said that everything would be discussed after returning to Terra.

Vulkan's unpredictable negative attitude disappointed many Space Marines, which in turn affected the morale of the entire joint fleet. To be honest, Fu Qinghai didn't know what Vulkan was thinking, but he had some vague guesses in his mind about the reason why Vulkan was so negative.

A very simple reverse question:

If, if Vulkan had just returned to the Imperial military sequence, he would have immediately commanded all the Imperial armies with high morale and vigor, then why did Vulkan abandon his offspring, conceal his identity, and live alone in a remote mining world for the past thousand years?

As long as he wanted, the Fire Dragon Lord could return to the Empire openly at any time. At that time, as the only loyal Primarch alive, he could still command all the Imperial armies.

Now most of the Space Marines in the two legions have not experienced the Great Crusade and the Heresy. If they were lucky enough to participate in that great crusade, they would probably understand why Vulkan is so negative now-during that special period, from the Primarch to the Space Marines, including the recorders and preachers, everyone believed from the bottom of their hearts: the crusade initiated by the Emperor would make this galaxy a better place. They firmly believed that they were bringing civilization and light to the lost former colonies of mankind that were lost in ignorance, darkness and barbarism.

On the contrary, the human empire today.

It has become more superstitious, ignorant and dark.

It is far from the original ideal vision.

Volcan's negativity is understandable. Any Imperial soldier who has participated in the Great Crusade would inevitably feel disheartened when looking at the current state of the Human Empire.

No matter how eagerly the other Space Marines hoped, Vulkan remained in the meditation chamber and forge room of the Suzheng until the combined fleet finally arrived on Holy Terra.

Battleship Suzheng, captain's room.

"In my impression, in the original novel, Wokan is also like this, acting isolated and passive. Then the following plot is very critical. You have to listen to me carefully, Qingshan."

Vera Nora looked at Fu Qinghai and said seriously:

"In the original novel, Volkan only served as the nominal supreme commander of the human coalition, and the actual commander-in-chief was Kurland. There were actually some disputes here, and Kurland's prestige and qualifications were not enough to convince him. Everyone, Posymond of the Black Templars and Quesadella of the Crimson Fist wanted to compete for the 'Commander-in-Chief', so Vulcan set a test - who can lift his hammer and swing the war hammer to destroy the palace Whoever is at a certain gate will be the commander-in-chief.”

"A test similar to King Arthur's Sword in the Stone?"

Fu Qinghai felt that this scene was somewhat familiar.

His thoughts immediately started to spread:

Is it because the Primarch's weapon itself is so heavy that ordinary Space Marines cannot lift it and swing it, or is it because Vulkan has set certain psychic restrictions on the hammer, similar to Thor's hammer Mjolnir in the Marvel multiverse? Like you, people who are not recognized can't lift it? The possibility of the latter is not small. Since the weapons created by the Fire Dragon Lord are called "artifacts", it is very likely that they are not ordinary technological creations.

"Almost."

Vera paused and continued:

"Both Simonde and Quesadella tried, but neither of them could lift the hammer. When it was Kurander's turn, he lifted the hammer with his tactical team, and then Throwing them at the door to break it open—technically they were cheating, right? But Vulcan thought? Kurland knows that cooperating with other warriors shows that he is not a dictatorial person. He deeply understands that the Legion of Astartes should be treated as a whole, rather than individual warriors. This is why Kurland is better than other warriors. The reason why the regiment leader is more suitable as the commander-in-chief of the human coalition."

So is it really just because the hammer is heavy?

After hearing this, Fu Qinghai realized that he had thought too much.

After working for a long time, they couldn't lift the hammer. It was simply because the hammer was too heavy, so a tactical team was needed to lift it together... But this problem was not a problem at all for Fu Qinghai, who had an extraordinary and powerful physique after multiple transformations. , his strength is by no means comparable to that of ordinary space warriors. A hammer that other warriors cannot lift with all their strength may be easily lifted by him with one hand.

"Now I have told you the correct answer in advance, so you know what to do next, right? If you still want to continue to be the commander-in-chief of the human coalition."

Vera stared at Fu Qinghai and said seriously.

Please...you...collect_6_9_书_Bar (Six//Nine//Books//Bar)

"Thank you for your reminder and advice, Vera."

Fu Qinghai looked at the female judge and said sincerely:

"But I probably don't need to follow this approach."

"What's the meaning?"

Vera frowned and asked in confusion.

In her opinion, she highlighted a key plot, which was crucial to Qingshan's ability to become the commander-in-chief of the human coalition, and more importantly, whether he could ultimately defeat the beast. But looking at the expression on his face, he doesn't seem to care about it. Could it be that he has changed his gender and wants to give this position to others?

Fu Qinghai shook his head and did not explain.

Yes, his power is beyond imagination.

But he may not even need to lift the hammer.

…………

Terra, the Royal Palace.

The Hall of Exhortations is located at the top of the Stilicho Tower. The huge curved balcony of the semicircular hall faces the dome of the Senate Hall. There are giant granite stone sculptures every five meters at the entrance of the hall, which symbolize the original loyal Astartes legions. This hall is a symbol of commitment and vigilance. The statues of these Space Marines, weapons in hand, stare coldly at the passage in front of them, which makes people feel awe.

The high lords rarely set foot here.

Representatives of the Blood Angels, Ultramarines, Space Wolves and Dark Angels had been waiting here before Fu Qinghai arrived. Space Marines fill the hall, surrounded by identical statues three times the size. When the four chapter leaders saw Fu Qinghai, their expressions became grim.

"Thank you for answering Terra's call."

Fu Qinghai walked to the center of the training hall and glanced at the faces of the four founding chapter leaders.

Sure enough, he saw a familiar face. The red-haired and red-bearded Space Marine grinned at him, revealing two obvious canine teeth under the corners of his mouth.

Another space warrior with long flowing golden hair and a pale and cold face looked at Fu Qinghai deeply, his eyes were very complicated and he didn't know what he wanted to express. Fu Qinghai didn't know him, but looking at the crimson power armor and the blood-dropped wings chapter crest, he knew he was the Blood Angel.

The Chapter Masters of the Dark Angels and Ultramarines also looked at Fu Qinghai with a scrutinizing gaze, as if they wanted to know why the Chapter Master of the White Scars could serve as the temporary leader of the two reassembled Astartes Legions. Commander-in-Chief, and also successfully launched a military coup in the Throne World.

Fu Qinghai did not stand directly on the podium in the center of the hall, but stopped next to the podium. Heavy footsteps came from behind him, and Wokan strode into the training hall.

The expressions on the Space Marines' faces changed, and Fu Qinghai saw their awed eyes following the movement of the original body, and then one by one, they bowed their heads and knelt down on one knee.

"Rise, warriors of the Empire."

As Wokan spoke, he strode up the stairs to the central podium, turned around and scanned the entire hall, remained silent for a full minute, and then said in a judgmental tone:

"I will meet with all the High Lords here."

…

The high lords and imperial senators gathered into a dark flow of people, walking along the long spiral staircase towards the admonishment hall. Wangerich heard the complaints from the interior minister.

"When will this coup end?"

No one else said a word, allowing Ekarth to continue chattering loudly. Although the entire outer city of the Imperial Palace is still under the joint control of the Twelfth Company of the Iron Buddha Chapter and the Second Company of the Paragon Fist Chapter, after the two Astartes Legions left the Throne World for a period of time, the Minister of the Interior seemed to have resumed Got a little courage to complain.

"In the name and guise of saving us, Qingshan Khan gathered an army and came to the Throne World, expelled Speaker Udo and the Pope of the State Church under house arrest, and put all of Terra under his control. Now we are like A group of servants were called over to participate in the rituals of the Astartes, and the Primarch even He didn't even condescend to enter the Imperial Council Hall. He kept us waiting all day, all day long! Don't you understand what's going on? The Primarch has no intention of bringing order to the end of this rebellion!"

The interior minister spoke quickly, urgently and angrily.

This person is afraid that he will cry.

Wangerich thought to himself:

At this moment, he urgently needs an ally, another high lord or another empire elder to agree with his ideas and help him increase his momentum and courage.

Ekas begged the people around him with his eyes, but all he got was silence. The imperial officials still walked up silently with their heads lowered, which made him both embarrassed and panicked.

Wangorich couldn't help but sneer when he saw this.

You are lonelier than you think, or not as lonely as you think. No one comes out to refute you. They may agree with your point of view, but no one dares to say it.

The Grand Master of the Assassin Court thought to himself.

In the uncomfortable silence.

A group of people walked into the training hall.

When Wangerich finally saw the giant waiting for them, the Grand Master of the Assassin Court could hardly suppress the awe and hope in his heart, and his breathing became rapid.

Other high lords showed another scene: they were stunned speechless by the original body's majestic figure and intimidating momentum, and a group of people froze in place.

Located on both sides of Volkan are the Chapter Masters of seventeen Chapters. The Primarch in the middle has his arms crossed on his chest, his gray-black face is as sinking as water, and his eyes are cold and ruthless.

In the distance, in the street squares and chapels outside the palace, some low-level administrative clerks and their families were lighting fireworks and cheering to celebrate the empire's victory on the planet Cordra.

After the news reached Terra, many people were encouraged. After Qingshan Khan reorganized the High Lords Council and the Imperial Senate, the empire immediately won a real victory. This was a good start and brought There is endless hope, and the Empire's complete victory over the Orcs seems to be just around the corner.

But those cheers didn't reach here.

There was only an increasingly dull silence in the hall.

And worse – the trial.

"Ahem..."

The Minister of the Interior cleared his throat and said hoarsely:

"Lord Wokan, we are honored to..."

"I have already spoken with Chapter Commander Aoyama."

The Primarch interrupted bluntly.

Ekas froze, his mouth half-open.

"On the way back I spent a day and a night thinking about what the High Lords had done."

Wokan continued, his calm tone filled with infinite disgust, and his eyes swept across all the imperial officials:

"You should thank the orcs...if it wasn't for unity, I would have killed you all."

Do it!

Wangerich was immediately ecstatic when he heard this:

Get started now! Purifying decay and creating new life is what a Primarch can do.

If Volkan decided to kill all the High Lords and Imperial Elders present, Wangorich was willing to die for the feat. But unfortunately, the Primarch had no such plan.

"We are preparing for the expedition to Ullanor."

Wokan's tone slowed down and he said in a deep voice:

"You must also make your own preparations."

well……

Wangerich sighed quietly.

The moment had passed and the frightened High Lords would soon be back to their calculations. Knowing the Primarch's unwavering support for Qingshan Khan, every faction will now try to use Qingshan Khan to achieve their own goals. The endless political games have begun again.

The game is still going on.

Has the coup launched by Qingshan really changed anything?

The Grand Master of the Assassin's Court could not help but reflect at this time.

Is it necessary to completely eradicate everything to bring about a new life?

If the Primarch is unwilling to do this...

Then can I do it?
